Taking Ryan To Planet Vought (4K) 

Wow, I've never heard of this "The Boys" show before, I guess it must be a wholesome show about a divorced superhero dad trying to balance work, a romantic life, and his relationship with his son.

With how well he is treating Ryan here you almost forget he pushed him of the roof that one time

Homelander's reaction to Ryan to the crowd shows he knows how overwhelming the powers can be, so he behaves like a understanding father figure for the first time since meeting Ryan and gets him out of there as fast as possible. It doesn't make up for all he's done, but I think it's a glimpse to what Homelander could've been if he was raised like a child and not a science experiment

Wow Homelander seems like an actual human being here

It genuinely seems like he cares for the well being of his son

This scene makes Ryan choosing Billy over Homelander SO much more painful. You can tell HL really wants to be a dad. He wants to be the parent he never had. Problem is he just doesn’t have those skills and instincts yet. He’s struggling to let out his warmth after a lifetime of it being smothered and repressed. And then his son chooses his actual biggest enemy over him. Over his best efforts. Yeah. Homielanders gonna go insane.

Ryan brought out the best in Homelander

What's this?? Homelander being a kind and understanding parent?!

Ashley about to be balding HARD by season 3 with all the stress she's under

I like how he really takes care of him.

This showed that he isn't used to his powers. Reminds me of that scene in daredevil after Matt woke up after the chemicals blinded him. All the noise drove him crazy at first and gave him the mother of all headaches until he got used to it. Ryan's the same way in this scene. He's hearing everything and his mind can't process it. Also he's not used to being around so many people so he's got social anxiety too.

damn that part where he sees ryan is not ok and asks for his mom and doesnt try to talk him out of it and is just like ok buddy we can leave and he just really gently carries him out is very polite to everyone around ......its like underneath that mountain of narciscism ego and cruelty, there is SOME humanity in him

Homelander not insulting Ryan's mom in front of him actually shows some improvement, he's not just thinking about himself he's thinking about Ryan and how that would make him feel. Edit: man I was pretty damn wrong lol

Daannnng homelander said excuse me instead of just lasering everyone and yelling "GET BACK!" ??

That first "you okay?" seems so genuine, it's nice to see Homelander actually be nice for once. Sure, he's cool when he's psychopathic and evil, but seeing him put aside his fame and glory for his son was actually very heartwarming to see.

Of course Homelander loves the Black Noir themed shake.

Even Homelander has mercy for someone about to be subjected to cats.

2:32 such an oddly touching moment. Homelander goes straight into dad mode when he notices how scared Ryan is. Then later he confesses to him that he once struggled with being in crowds too…it’s kind of sad that he’ll never be a man capable of raising and loving Ryan properly.

Who else is surprised that Homelander actually cares about Ryan?

He himself is a child through and through. Yet it was definitely strange to see Homelander look at his kid and go "Here.... Let's just go." instead of telling him to try and get used to it, or that he deserves attention too as his son. A very rare of occurrence of putting someone else's feelings before his own.

Ryan must feel what celebrities' children has to go through in real life

I’m guessing Ashley’s gonna be bald by the time the shows over.

A legit mass murderer is a better parent than mine 💀

actually kinda hurts seeing the potential good in him...you know it won't last..

You can hate Homelander as much as you want but you can't deny the fact that he actually cared for his son, for a short time, but he really cared in his own way

Stormfront is trying to be a mother again It’s sad

"Thank you everyone, excuse me, excuse me..... GET THE FUCK BACK!" I was pretty sure that was gonna happen XD

anthony starr is so good, homelander seems so kind and humane in this scene man

Pretty cool scene where you can see that homelander instantly stops caring about the fame and what other people think of around him in favor of his son, knowing what it's like to be in this situation for the first time with him explaining it to him in the scene later in the show.

I think the little moments like this where Homelander comes through for Ryan, is when he’s able to relate to him. He was once a scared little kid surrounded by people too (since he was a lab baby), but when it comes to things that Homelander can’t immediately relate to, his narcissism makes him think “well, that’s something we’re gonna have to fix”, like when he pushed Ryan off the roof to try and bring out his powers.

This scene made Homelander look like an actual father for second there lol. It’s sad that Homelander can’t understand what family is really about because he’s all too caught up with his glory.

"The world's too big, mom!"

I like how it shows the good side of even the most terrible people on the show. Homelander genuinely wants to be a part of his sons life. And you can tell Stormfront wants to be a mother again and care for Homelanders kid. A-train is obviously going through a crisis and you feel bad for him as well. Despite all these characters have done horrendous things, they still show a soft side that makes them hard to fully hate lol. Stormfront is a NAZI, and I still find it hard to hate her character, shes such a great villain!

i love the world building so much. planet vought is such an awesome idea

Homelander should've just told them he was busy.

Scenes like this and at the cabin where he says "Ryans wants to be alone right now" make me think that if Stormfront wasn't involved then Ryan may have actually salvaged some humanity from HL.

At 2:33 in the video I like how Homelander has this switch in his face when he sees Ryan. It’s so natural looking and his eyes convey a deep story of pain and empathy. The whole interaction he has in that moment really give me pain in knowing that his humanity is so detached that when it is shown it’s like a cold reminder of the world he was born in.

Man, I genuinely want to see more of Homelander being a good dad. Just like one comment said, Ryan brings out the best in him.

Homelander's son is such a well mannered boy. It's hard to beleive he is his father's son. It's a shame a child like this can't have an innocent childhood either.

For the jerk homelander is atleast he is serious about caring and protecting his son

Even though I know how evil and psychotic homelander is, it’s so sweet how he cares for Ryan, same thing with stormfront.

Even though Stormfront is Stormfront, seeing her be gentle with Ryan and want to be his mom is actually kinda sweet.

It's significant that the only time Homelander acts like a genuine parent is when Ryan's powers are acting up. It's the only thing Homelander has any empathy for Ryan about, because Homelander himself likely went through something similar. In that moment, he looked at Ryan and saw his younger self, and he's such a narcissist that the only person he can show compassion to is himself.

Wow I guess Homelander was right when he said he was going to panic, he really did understand him.

This is true character development. It can be difficult to give such an evil character as Homelander traits and actions that we empathize with, but here he's shown being a good dad who really cares about his son. Just makes me love this series more

Little scenes like this that show how good Homelander could have been under different circumstances. It doesn’t excuse the horrible things he does, it just makes it all the sadder.

People forget that a lot of broken humans have feelings. My father was borderline, he also had narcissistic tendencies, he was an asshole, but he was also nice and understanding in his own way. It gets really complicated when one has issues but at the same time understands morals and has feelings/ compassion.

This is one of my favorite scenes in the entire show. Homelander is a monster. No way around that. However, its clear he wants to be a father. He wants to give Ryan what he never had. Theres no way around this. He doesn't know how to do that though, but you can clearly see he is trying. It shows how even a monster can have even a little tiny piece of good in them. However, after Ryan chooses to go with Butcher, that was the moment every little bit of hope Homelander had about being a father and have something nice, was ripped away from him, and then we get the Homelander in season 3 that just doesn't care anymore.

No matter how evil you are, a man will always love his son.

One of the very few good things homelander has done, he may not care about much but he does really care about Ryan

This was a pretty neat way to show that yes even narcissists like Homelander are capable of some empathy. Well their self preservation tends to always come first. But they have moments.

I think Homelander genuinely loves his son though like the guys a monster but he still does have humanity in him

He stole our hearts in this one

Ryan could be the next invincible

I love how Homelander chooses his son over his fans. It's a great dad moment.

Who else really wanted homelander to be a cool dad?

he's BEEN in Ryan's place. He knows what being alone can do to you. He physically can't force any of this on Ryan because all of his upbringing was essentially against his will and he doesn't want that for his son. I love the inner conflict and the self preservation/trauma reflex took over his parental instinct

Stuff like this is why homelander is a much better character in the show then in the comics, I love how complex and layered his character is and not just evil Superman

This scene proves that Homelander does care about his son as he escorted him out of the restaurant after nearly suffering a nervous breakdown.

i cant be the only one that wants a spin off of homelander and stormfront raising Ryan, but its just wholesome family stuff and not lasering ppl.

It's not Ryan's fault that he was raised with just his mom, anyone raised alone would be having a sensory overload

I love that despite all the despicable actions Homelander has done in the series, he’s genuinely trying his best to a good father for Ryan in this clip. He tries to take him out eat a restaurant but when he sees his son isn’t feeling well because of the crowd and his heightened hearing, he escorts Ryan out cause he knows how overwhelming it is at that age putting Ryan’s safety and well being above his own time in the spotlight which we know he absolutely loves. Arguably Ryan did help bring out the best in Homelander

Oh my god, is Homelander being a good role model for his son, this actually makes me like Homelander a little bit, he seems so kind around his son even though we all know what he does when his son isn’t around

I'm genuinely curious about to how the Big Homie with Bacon and the Mocha Noir Shake look like

Such a good father❤️

This is so weird. Homelander is actually being a dad in this scene. His only concern is his kid.

It's like the one scene in the entire show where he actually almost acts like a normal person

Wow. Homelander showing genuine concern. Its crazy

almost makes him redeemable...almost

This scene with Ryan put me on edge thinking, he might accidentally use his powers

when i read the title i thought he took a kid to another planet named vought

Wow, this superhero guy seems like a really good person.

I mean ok sure, every serial killer can be just as loving but it doesn't make him a good person, he's still a psychopath incarnate. The only problem is it isn't all homelander's fault. He was raised by people who only cared about what he could do for them. In an absolute loveless environment, where he's never had hardships that life brings. Most likely he did get every single thing he wanted without discipline. He was brought up to be exactly this person, so I don't blame him too much. But even with all that it seems in his own twisted way he actually cares for his son.

I know he's crazy, but homelander is really, really good at playing hero.

this is why most Superheroes have secret identities to prevent things like this happening to them at 2:00

Despite being a narcissist, he kept an eye on his son the whole time and considered his feelings once he realized he was in distress. It's funny how being a parent can really mold a person. I knew some dangerous and scary people growing up and many of them, once they had kids, it's like you can't believe they're the same person

This scene really made me like Homelander He is a better dad than so many other dad's

The way he was caring for his son was really cute. Makes you believe he really cares and loves him. Men are cute with kids lol “Even the proudest spirit can be broken with love”

Wow that kids acting is pretty damn good he played the social anxiety part super well

Its really hilarious how Homelander and Stormfront just casually walks into the restaurant instead of some cheesy comic book entrance

the most shocking part of this scene was when homelander didn’t brutally murder a bunch of people for no reason

Scenes like this makes me wonder if there could ever be any form of redemption for Homelander.....

One of my fav clips

You know, that's one of the things I find really interesting about sociopaths, when compared to psychopaths. Although the two should be incapable of feeling empathy, in some situations sociopaths can feel something close to empathy for someone and even feel bad about hurting or doing some kind of harm to them. The series managed to represent that in Homelander in a very good and coherent way with Ryan. You can clearly see, as the narrative progresses and how it's built, that Homelander eventually starts to really seem to care about Ryan and his well being in some moments, despite being a narcissistic sociopath (That happens because of some things the narrative has built into his character, but the most important ones in my opinion would be: Homelander's desperation for love and connections with people + the fact that he see himself and part of his own pain in Ryan).

It’s sad because if Homelander grew up with a real family that taught him right from wrong he’d be a real hero like Alex. You can see here he puts away his childish need to be adored to help Ryan, he asked if he was ok. He understood how he was feeling, he truly dose care for Ryan and no one else

homelander has the potential to be a really good person and its just so sad when we see the possibilites compared to the reality of how he is

What kind of a parent he is. Taking his son to the planet

At least he was considerate enough to realize that ryan was panicking and got him outta there.

i like this side of him, you can see how he is understanding and stuff twords his kid

I was worried Ryan would accidentally use his laser eyes here.

Feel like this is the only scene in the whole of the boys where we see Homelander acting like a normal, balanced, caring human being thinking of someone else instead of himself

Tfw Homelander showed more compassion and care for his kid than my parents did🤣 🥲

Homelander: Back the f*ck off or I'll laser you goddamnit! Homelander w/ Ryan: Stay back please, thank you.

It's so odd. Homelander is trying to convert to his way of things, yet Ryan changes something in Homelander, brings out whatever good is/was left in him. He genuinely cares that Ryan was panicking, and got him out of that situation. Homelander is irredeemable, without a doubt. But it's like when it comes to Ryan, we can see a phantom of the hero/person Homelander could have been. It doesn't excuse a single thing he has done, but let's remember: Homelander wasn't born, he was created, by Vought.

I unironically want him to drop the hero shtick to try and be a good dad

this was the first scene that really made me feel for homelander :(

Thank you for posting an English version

I wonder if Homelander and his son will have an “invincible” type of relationship?

Homelander actually seems like a good dad

Its nice to see a wholesome and caring side of Homelander other than that maniac we are used to. And its nice to see stormfront caring and supportive of Ryan too
